Full description
This data record is for stream invertebrate samples collected by Melissa Houghton from 13 site across Macquarie Island in December 2016. At each site, 5 biotic kick-samples and water quality measurements were collected and site photographs taken. Sites were originally established by Richard Marchant in 1992 (ASAC_555) and were resurveyed in 2008 and 2010 (ASAC_2918 & AAS_3261). Site numbers are as described for previous survey periods and for the 2016 survey included 1-11, 13 and 15. The biotic samples were returned to Australia for taxonomic sorting and identification by Richard Marchant. Site photographs were assessed by Jane Wasley for vegetation status (recovery from grazing) relative to matched photographs taken in previous years.Some files attached to this record also include compiled data from previous surveys in 1992, 2008 and 2010. Three excel files are provided pertaining to:
1. Stream invertebrate taxa; 1992-2016
2. Water quality; EC and turbidity for 2008 and 2016
3. Vegetation; categorisation of change; grazing and recovery status 2008 and 2016
See parent and associated child records for further information.
